Brothers of RoN



The Brothers of Rise of Nations (also known as Brothers of RoN or BoR) was a clan that existed from 2010-2011. It became the largest colony clan in Apocalypse Survivors history, and conducted the two largest mergers in its history.

BoR went through two governments in its history, the first led by the leadership of [BoR]_hoagieman and [BoR]_targoon. After some in-fighting and outside pressures, the first merger with AS was conducted, and at the time the largest merger. Then later that year, [AS]_Pimp-Masterflex restarted the clan to new heights. During the Reformation, Pimp achieved independence, created a new generation of scenario players, and re-opened the door of scenario players to other gamestyles. However, Pimp became tired and led to the second AS-BoR merger, the largest in history.

Although defunct, BoR has had an extremely positive impact on AS. It created a new scenario branch for the clan, it has twice provided a large influx of members to the clan, and it has provided new leaders in AS such as [AS]_hoagieman and [AS]_Pimp-Masterflex

PreHistory of BoR
Inactivity corrupted many, including the two rulers of this mighty clan. As SC grew weaker from inactivity from SC Bern many of the members decided to hold a revolt. The revolt would include SC Hoagieman, SC Tombomb, SC Pimp Masterflex, and SC Colonel to led SC out of the dark ages. Other supporters of this were SC euu, and SC Dan_R. The revolt really never came about because the lower ranked SC members believed that they would have been stripped of their SC tag. SC hoagieman then had an idea to get back the real SC leader(Mujahadine) who took hoagieman's offer into consideration. When SC Mujahadine retured to RoN many people were happy until a short while when he started to be inactive once again. [SC]hoagieman then talked to muja on MSN about why he was inactive and not running the clan. Mujahadine then informed hoagieman that he did not want to rule over SC but wanted hoagie to revolt against SC Bern. Seeming that Bern was inactive hoagie thought about it and decided maybe he would. One day later hoagie decided to drop the whole idea of ruling SC due to the fact of scenario noobs and how unorganized the clan really was. But when it hit [SC]hoagieman, he knew exactly the fate he would create for himself. Hoagie then told Sc mujahadine that it was his time to go and he left SC. With hoagie not telling SC Bern, brings up ideas that Bern may start a war with watever clan hoagie does decide to join. Hoagie then went to his good friend for many years blueflame, who had offered hoagie to join AS and even run the xbox live clan, but what blue wanted was a colony clan. So he took [AS]Blue_Flame up on his offer of a colony clan, and thus BoR began(Janruary 2 2010). [BoR]hoagieman knew exactly who to turn to for recruitment, [SC]targoon. Hoagie was [SC]targoon's first friend upon his return and knew he would not pass it up. Plus he was not to fond of Bern or Muja. The 2 Jersey natives took up regime as BoR members, the first 2. AS provided wonderful refuge from outside forces, and our own website. The next mvoe was to recruit [SC]Lord_pwng3. Pwnag3 joined BoR after hoagieman talked to him, he said the reason being was he was tired of SC and how dead it was. Pwnag3 was also glad that he could play any game type in the BoR clan and that it was linked to one of the most powerful clans RoN has ever seen, AS. As BoR looks to take in more recruits BoR hoagieman looks at taking SC players under his wing who he thinks has great potential at all games types and not just scenarios. While [BoR] Targoon gets back his old TN friends to help the BoR clan expand more into nomad, these players include Zappa, King Mike, and Emit Remmus (Dan_R). BoR hit a bump in the road when [BoR]targoon could not start RoN. Hours he worked at fixing it, and hours he wasted. An internal problem would keep one of BoR's best nomad players from defending BoR, his own clan he helped raise, from AoF who recently declared war. Now BoR must fight for their own freedom with only [BoR]Zappa and [BoR]kingmike to save them. This will not only test them to their limits, but even more test their pride.

BoR: First Republic
BoR gains more and more recruits, [BoR]Valor, [BoR] colonel cosal, and even most shocking, [BoR]Pimp Masterflex, an old friend. As BoR soon finds out, AoF's war declaration fades into the night, as it seems AoF yet again dies. So BoR never had the chance to play them in a game. However, news spreads quickly about BoR and the members get stronger with each passing day. To finalize BoR's power, [BoR]hoagieman and [BoR]targoon wrote a constitution that dictates the rights, powers and rules for all BoR members. This is a definite signal of power and command, as no known clan has a written document such as this. As targoon and hoagie halted the constitution to a later time, the clan picked up one of the top scenario players, icowwowmoo. Cow was a great contribution to the clan as he is a very tough person to beat and is also looking to fight with the best.

As SC starts to die off more and more SC players turn to BoR for an answer. BoR tells them t o pick a new leader and before that can happen and old SC, SC USSR steps in and take control. USSR tried to reconstruct SC by recruiting more members to just make the clan more active and get people to play scenarios more. But when word reached to former leader SC Bern, he got angry and came back to SC and took control of SC. USSR then decided to start a coup, and once he started his coup, SC Bern thought that BoR was supporting it(which we arent allowed unless Blue says we can), anways USSR promised Bern that he would end his coup if USSR was to be given the same power as Bern, which Bern said no too. As USSR continued to play he was looking for a new home and BoR excepted him also grabbing a inter nomad play BoR Wolf. BoR soon came to find out that SC bern allied AS rival clan (AOF) and declared war on both AS and BoR. The reason fo rthis was because we had allowed USSR in BoR (Stupid reason, yes we al know it is). Once Sc had wared Bern thought he would have the support of SC dave and SC Pepsi, but he was wrong. Bern lost most of his supporters in doing so and looked hopless. Bern then talked to a BoR member Pimp_MasterFlex about him joining SC. Berns offer was that Pimp can rejoin SC with the same powers as Bern. Pimp declined and reported the news to BoR and everyone then found out that Bern and whoever is fighting for SC is hopless. After awhile Bern seemed to be losing more supporters quicker and quicker, losing his best player he had who was not going to fight anyways, Pepsi. Pepsi first joined BoR under a alias to see how hoagie treated new members and he said that hoagie was welcoming so then decided to join BoR as Pepsi. With Pepsi leaving SC things were looking good, until the BoR clan recieved news about Bern. Bern was apparently caught making, dealing and selling drugs by his parents and friends parents. This would crumble the SC once and for all because there was no one to lead. Yes BoR did win without fighting, but to lose a person who was involved heavily in the scenario community is a very sad thing. As SC Bern says his final words to his old friends he says that SC is pulling out of the war, leaving only one clan left, AOF. HOLD THE PHONE, SC Bern returns to RoN once again making it seem that he has lied about what is happening. But with his return Bern apparently is bringing back the true creator of SC, SC Mujahadine and the other creator, who everyone thought was dead (Not Joking) SC Unh, but we have yet to see Unh play in a scenario yet or even get online. With SC pulling out old members from the grave it seems that they are preparing for something big and something to stop AS and BoR in its tracks. The only problem is that SC Bern could run himself into a trap with this one, something that he does not even know about.

Yes, well, SC had fallen after Bern's unsuccessful war, and all lookedgood from there. However, [BoR]Targoon, one of the co-founders, made an interesting post insulting various players in the clan. This post caused infighting within the clan, more notably the nomad division of the clan. This in turn prompted [BoR]Zappa, our most skilled nomad player, to leave during our war with AoF, a mainly nomad clan. With his Departure, many more followed suit in a domino effect. Hoagie and Pimp were very worried, that if AOF challenged BoR to an actual match, we would have to forfeit and become part of AOf. So. we went to out Mother Clan leader, [AS]_BlueFlame, and asked all remaining high ranking members to come to AS. And so, Hoagieman, Pimp, Colonel, Zappa, CommanderBell, Ruffles, and Scruffy all went to AS.

First Merger in AS
After the AS migration, there were still a power vaccum within the scenario clans after the fall of Bern's rule. The most powerful had gone to AS, but many were reluctant to go to AS, seeing as the clan's reputation did not reflect the scenario lifestyle. However, [SC]Mujahadine, the first ever leader of SC, came back to try to reunify SC. However, Muja had some bad experiences with power struggles before, seeing as he was an experienced player and may look like a threat to AS. So, he sent 2 less experienced scen players, [SC]Omar the Great and [SC]KillerPackman (now [AS]Packman) to lead SC. However, SC had little experienced players besides these 3, although their numbers were slightly greater of AS in the scenario field

For the first month of a "cold war", things were just annoying, however, Muja had grwon to distrust Pimp, AS, and for a little while, Hoagie, his long time collegue. Therefore, he created a federation with AOF, AS's enemy, which destoryed relations with AS. Pimp, Hoagie, and Colonel, the "Three Amigos", thought of some plans to try to not destory SC, but to destabilize it. One plan was for Pimp to smurf as [SC]capitalist pig to try to infiltrate the clan, however, Pimp' laziness ad SC elections stopped progress of this. Another was to try to start a coup in SC, but none was willing to accept the challenge

However, the three amigos convinced [SC]KillerPackman to leave SC, which only brought one leader to SC (Omar). Omar was a good leader, but was not the best or experienced player, and lost respect in his position as ruler. Muja, relectant to step up to a leader position, stayed back as SC began to dwindle. Now, only a few members of Ron and in BoR carry the [SC] tag, such as [SC]Midnight Spirit and [SC]Josef Stalin.... one of our VL's.

BoR: The Reformation
Well, after the last SC dynasty had declined (SC is prone to many dynasty phases), many of the AS members left ron either completely or their attendance was very limited. For exapmle, Pimp had to go to college, Hoagie got his license, and Omar had some things in his life he had to deal with..... so, AS attendance fell, and yet another power vaccum slowly but surely set in.

When Pimp came back one day in mid October to see what became of Ron, he saw only a couple people, such as Ruffles and Josef, just waiting in the lobby like it was a ghost town. Pimp knew that eah time SC had fallen, scenarios themselves fell until a new leader steped up. And with each dynasty, old players dropped and new players came in. Pimp knew that he needed a clan to try to reform scens, and RoN itself, Pimp did not want to reform SC, beignt hat he still had allegience to the AS clan. However, he did realize that BoR was still a colony clan of AS, and therefore got the OK from the current AS leader [AS]Gondor to lead BoR.

The first step Pimp knew was that he knew he wasnt going to be as active as the rest of the clan was. If he was the sole leader of the clan, he knew he could get couped rreally fast. So, he decided to make 2 Vice Leaders to run the clan in his absence.... so, he appointed [AS]Ruffles and [SC]Josef, two fine scenario players I might add, to the positions.

The second thing Pimp realized was that it was fine and dandy to have a clan, but without a good sized membership, the clan would have no effect. Since then, we have accumulated members such as [BoR]Jamal ABdul Naser, [BoR] Alan, [BoR] ando, and [SC]Hotshot[BoR]. A side note, Pimp did notwant to take off the AS or SC tags off of anyones name, seeing as members realized that these were only symbolic tags of the past and what became of them.... or if they are in AS as BoR and AS are respective allies.

In Mid-December, it is clearly shown that BoR is the largest clan currently on Rise of NAtions, even beating IND. The clan website was spiffed by [BoR]hoagieman and a former member [Bor]USSR. However, BoR's technical mother clan, AS, goes through turmoil as the two AS brothers, [AS]_BlueFlame and [AS]_Gondor fights for the clan which tears the clan apart. On 12/17/10, BoR attained official independence from [AS] and retained Alliance status with full support for [AS]_Blueflame in his fight for leadership.

BoR as Independent
After Independence was declared in December, prospects for [BoR] seemed as unstoppable as they did in the first age. [BoR] faced some serious domestic problems as they start out with soverignty. Participation was starting to dwindle with some members leaving such as Winston Churchill(previously [BoR]ando) and [BoR]Jamal_Abdul_Nasser. Site attendence was down and hosts became almost scarce. Pimp did not want inactivity to weaken the clan, so he decided to recruit new members, such as [BoR]Valladares, [BoR]Rebellion, {BoR]_CMoney, and [BoR]giannis-XR. After a temporary glitch in the website, [BoR] inactivity was cured until Pimp and Hoagie had to leave after Mid-January, so they would be limited in theit activity. [BoR]_Josef_Stalin (upon [BoR]_Midnight_Spirit's decline) takes over for the provisional leadership in anytime of Pimp's Absence.

On January 2, 2011, [AS] and [AOF] had their long-awaited clan war. Pimp, in order to aid their allies in [AS], posed as [AOF]_Frosty and sabotaged one game in favor of AS. Then Explosion "booted" Frosty from AOF, and the real rosters ended u in 2 AOF victories. AOF won the war in the end, and for a week, AS fell to the hands of AOF. However, Blue's scheming tricked Explosion into giving back independence, and oncemore the BoR-AS alliance lives stronger than ever.

On January 27,2011, Hoagie, Pimp, and the 2 Standing Vice Leaders [BoR]Josef_Stalin and [BoR]_Midnight_Spirit signed the fully functional BoR Constitution. As a great example of organization and unity, the Constitution outlines the basic rules of BoR and scens along with government respotinsibilities and some in-game etiquette. The Constitution repleaces the primitive Clan Charter as the superseding document of the clan.

With the senate being inactive, Pimp temporarily suspended the Senate to create 3 departments of the clan of foreign affairs, Scenario Development, and a Standard/Nomad/Inf Department. Hoagie and Pimp then reestablished the senate under new controls with a new structure associated with the department heads to ensure the full functionality of the BoR government. However, there was much conflict between the Senare and the Executives over power. None were willing to accept any compromise, with one radical being [BoR]_Valladares in the Senate and for the Executive one being [BoR]_hoagieman. In the end, in order to keep peace, Pimp passed Bill 005 in order to "suspend" the senate until a new compromise of voting can was met. On 2/12/11, Pimp reorganized legislation by creating 2 houses, one for the old Senator (House) and the executives (Senate).

On 4/20/11, Pimp held a BoR Election for his own seat out of his own volition. Pimp won a resounding 85.7% of the vote against the challenger [BoR]_Valladares. After his loss, and after some events (to those who are reading in the future, val was a bitch about this history so we had to make it neutral), Val left 2 days later to join DA. His departure to this clan leaves [BoR]_CoUnTrY_BoY to fill his spot as Speaker of the House

In Mid April, With the Fall of IND and the decline of AS, BoR and DA were the only clans considered "alive" at the time. Even with Val's departure to DA, Pimp made it clear that no matter how furious Pimp and BoR was to Val, that there would be no war since DA were great allies of BoR.

In May 2011, Pimp and BlueFlame conducted the Second BoR Merger, the largest in AS History
